OVERVIEW

The Michelin CrossClimate SUV is a performance and high performance, all weather tire manufactured for SUVs. Michelin offers a 50,000 mile warranty with the H and V speed rated sizes of this model.

The tire offers excellent all weather traction. The tread design and all weather compound increase the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The detailed directional pattern maintains the model's surface contact throughout its performance, by enhancing the number of biting edges gripping the road surface. The durable all weather compound keeps the tire's rubber flexibility in various temperatures, from the heat of summer to colder winter conditions. The angled lateral grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the footprint, which significantly improves the year round driving safety levels.

The model upgrades its handling with the directional tread design's close surface contact. The directional pattern's close and maintained surface contact increases the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. In this manner, the steering becomes faster and more precise in its response to the driver's commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the model. The tread design's optimal tread block placement and pattern enhances the braking power. These tread elements create friction between the tire and the road surface to shorten the braking distance and offer a secure performing capability.

The tread design's ideal traction improves the fuel efficiency. The stronger tire compound and tread design increase the grip on the road surface, which eases the driving pressure off the tire. This significantly lowers the rolling resistance, which is the driving pressure affecting the tire which determines the vehicle's needed fuel intake in order to keep the tires in motion. The lessened rolling resistance minimizes the vehicle's fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, promoting a fuel and environmentally conscious performing ability.

The CrossClimate SUV boosts the length of its usability. The durable compound and the directional tread pattern increase the length of the tread life. The compound slows the tread wear rate down with the wear-resistant rubber materials. The directional tread pattern manages to evenly distribute the driving pressure across the tread area, avoiding irregular wear formations across the tread area. This combination enables the tire to extend the usability and tread life significantly.

All weather tires receive the three mountain peak and snowflake (3PMS) symbol for their exceptional winter weather performance. They are all season tires with extra winter weather grip, in order to guarantee safer year-round durability. This ensures their true and secure driving ability throughout the year.

Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
